Stalker 2 Dethrones Black Ops 6 To Become #1 Best-Seller On Steam

Expert Verified By

Already Looking Like A Huge Success!

Story Highlight
  • Stalker 2 is now the top-selling paid game on Steam.
  • It has beaten the likes of Black Ops 6 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 for this spot.
  • The first-person shooter will also be available on day one through Game Pass.

With just two days left before Stalker 2’s release, the excitement for this title is on the rise. Following a strong showing on the Steam best-sellers list last week, the game has continued to climb the rankings.

The first-person shooter has now left every other title on the platform in the dust, becoming Steam’s #1 best-seller.

Why it matters: GSC Game World has endured unimaginable hardships to ship its latest first-person shooter. The game’s position on Steam’s top seller list shows that these efforts will be rewarded very soon.

Until recently, this list was dominated by Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Activision’s latest annual success stayed at the top of the charts for many weeks following an explosive launch, but Stalker 2 has ended the successful run. Both games also have something in common: their status as day-one Game Pas titles.

Stalker 2 is currently just behind Counter-Strike 2 on the list. Moreover, it has beaten various free-to-play titles, including PUBG and Warzone, to claim this spot. Regarding upcoming paid titles, the likes of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 have been left behind by GSC Game World’s latest offering.

This position on the list should lead to huge player counts for Stalker 2 on Steam. Moreover, the game will likely see plenty of interest on Game Pass, making the scenario an overall win for GSC Game World.

Stalker 2 arrives on November 20, and reviews should also go live soon. Are you among the many Steam users who have pre-ordered this survival horror shooter? Do you intend to give the game a go at some point?
